Researchers at the leading London university will use Legion to tackle complex analytical problems, including the most detailed ever simulations of cold dark matter, potentially changing our perception of galaxy formation and gravity. Another department will use supercomputing power to monitor blood flow through the brain of stroke victims to help decide their treatment.

Legion will use cluster technology to create a single machine with a formidable 42.9 TeraFlops per second (TF/s) peak performance, not far off the power of the new National Supercomputing service HECToR with a performance of 60TF/s.

“Using industry standards-based technology, rather than high-priced, proprietary systems, researchers have access to previously unavailable levels of computing power, at a remarkably lower cost,” said Dell chairman and CEO Michael Dell.

Check out this article, it’s talking about how this London university is using a solution put together by Dell to provide them with a hpc cluster for computational power, it shows another way in which hpc technologies are being used to provide the computational power required in this case for research, very cool.
